Give me strength or at least a glass of wine

I've been on the phone for close to an hour trying to get certain things fixed and replaced, nothing out of the ordinary just things we pay for and that should have been done months ago when we first pointed out the faults. Anyway, we're not the only ones complaining about the lack of service and things are finally it seems moving on (5 months later...) I called today to get all the dates when the repairs are scheduled fully expecting nothing to have been scheduled but lo and behold : They all have! Now we're not holding our breaths that it'll get done by the dates I was given but at least we have progress. It's not fun though, the Mister hates calling people so he deals with it via email and that is great because we get it in writing then, but sometimes you just have to call and speak to someone as well. Apparently I was not the first to have called today either so I think they're getting fed up with hearing for us all (residents of the area) But the lady I spoke to was very nice to deal with though, thankfully. She went out of her way to help me out and I really appreciated that.

Now if only it was weekend for us too but it's not, the Mister is working for a few more days, we'd both love to go to the pub this afternoon and sit outside in their garden by the water and have a cold white wine (and a pint for the Mister). But that's not on the cards at all.
